Technical difficulties aside and ignoring the fact that I was literally thrown out of my ranked game due to "unexpected server error", overwatch 2 actually feels fun

@Blizzard @qwik #Overwatch2 Funny how Influencers aren't having any troubles getting into Overwatch 2. This is how you treat your players? Fake DDoS attacks and server queues for regular players?

@GoNintendoTweet There's no DDos attack. It's a cover up. Blizzard took the servers down themselves because the overwatch shop was offline.

@PlayOverwatch what a joke. Why does a console need to sign in for Overwatch 2? You've made it more difficult to play. Some of us stop playing WOW and didn't transfer GAuthent. Should have had a back up like texting code to play until new setup

The thing that really frustrates me isn’t to do with Overwatch 2 but how i can’t play without putting my phone number while my account is IN the US and not in Europe. I have to either pay €20 o change region or wait for customer service and beg them to change it. **** this…

Any Overwatch 2 players making fun of or saying “sounds like a you problem” to prepaid phone users…eat a sick **** *****! @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch you guys are fouls for doing this to people. Note I have a post paid phone. Doesn’t make it right.

@PlayOverwatch It’s a bit frustrating that Overwatch 1 players essentially subsidized OW 2 only for such a botched release (taking servers down for OW before OW2, rolling out a marginally upgraded game, servers not running, etc).
